In the recent Formula 1 race in Miami, Norris finished ahead of Verstappen. Norris got a boost when a safety car came out during the race, helping him edge closer to victory. Verstappen’s Red Bull had some damage during the race, which also helped Norris’s chances. This has made people hopeful for more exciting races between Norris and Verstappen, especially now that McLaren has improved its car for 2024.
McLaren’s boss, Brown, shared his thoughts on a potential close fight between Norris and Verstappen at the Monaco Historique Grand Prix event. He thinks Norris has the ability to beat Verstappen in a fair race. Brown believes it would be an intense battle and predicts that some races might not end well for one or both drivers.
He praised Norris for his exceptional talent, saying he hadn’t seen anyone faster. Brown also mentioned another McLaren driver, Oscar Piastri, who he thinks can match Norris with more experience.
Brown thinks Norris will continue to improve after winning his first F1 race. He believes that getting the first win can relieve pressure on drivers, allowing them to perform better. Norris signed a contract extension with McLaren, showing his loyalty to the team. Brown explained that Norris was convinced to stay with McLaren because of the team’s efforts to improve their car and the leadership of team principal Andrea Stella.
Brown emphasized the importance of loyalty in careers but also acknowledged that it has its limits. He highlighted Norris’s confidence in McLaren’s ability to provide him with a winning car, especially after their recent success in the sprint race. Brown believes Norris’s confidence in McLaren will only grow stronger with their continued progress.
